"It snowed so much, I could not go to the place where I had determined to go, and I was obliged to stop on the road, and it was a blessed stop to me -- I found rather an obscure street, and turned down a court, and there was a little chapel. I wanted to go somewhere, but I did not know this place. It was the Primitive Methodists' chapel. I had heard of these people from many, and how they sang so loudly that they make people's heads ache; but that did not matter. I wanted to know how I might be saved, and if they made my head ache ever so much I did not care.
So sitting down, the service went on, but no minister came. At last a very thin looking man came into the pulpit and opened his Bible and read these words: "Look unto Me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth."

Just setting his eyes upon me, as if he knew me all by heart, he said: "Young man, you are in trouble." Well, I was, sure enough. Says he, "You will never get out of it unless you look to Christ."
And then, lifting up his hands, he cried out, as only I think, a Primitive Methodist could do, "Look, look, look. It's only look!" said he. I saw at once the way of salvation. Oh, how I did leap for joy at that moment! I know not what else he said: I did not take much notice of it -- I was so possessed with that one thought. Like as when the brazen serpent was lifted up, they only looked and were healed. I had been waiting to do fifty things, but when I heard this word, "Look!" what a charming word it seemed to me. Oh, I looked until I could almost have looked my eyes away."
The teenager? Charles Spurgeon! What if the thin looking man, whose name we do not know, had said to himself: "Well, it is too cold to go out today. It's snowing. No one will expect me to go to church today"? Supposing that he had said something like that -- what would have happened to young Spurgeon? Would he have found the solution to his problem, the answer to his quest? See in God's providential ordering of things what led to Spurgeon's salvation: the snowstorm, the change in Spurgeon's plans, the absence of the usual minister, the presence of the thin looking man, his choice of text and his bold confrontation of the teenager.
All of that contributed to Spurgeon's conversion.
